Multi Vitamins - Could someone recommend non chalky ones



Recommended Posts

Could someone recommend non-chalky Multi Vitamins - I mean, are there gummies or any other consistency that aren't the huge horse pills that are all chalky?

I am about to gag on those.

Are you able to swallow? If so, the Centrum complete Vitamins will suffice.

My nutritional lab work comes back with perfect results every time. The bariatric vitamins aren't really needed for sleeve patients since we don't have that malabsorptive component.

If you can't swallow, the Centrum complete chewables cost about $8 for a 3 month supply. There's also the Flintstone complete vitamins (not the gummies!).

I chew Celebrate. Yes they are big but they aren't unbearable. Flintstones etc are for kids and don't give us what we need. But I guess for those who can't tolerate the others it's better than nothing. I do the celebrate comp with Iron. I just bought the cal citrate plus D and I chew neocell Biotin chews

The multi is 2 per day, cal is about 6 per day.

I take Wild berry Bariatric Fusion which is a chewable and doesn't really taste chalky to me. It goes down easy and tastes like candy.

I don't like the patch (it falls off) and we do, too, have some malabsorption issues.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
